[HECnet] Fortran-77 on RSTS/E V10.1

I'm trying to get the Fortran-77 compiler installed on PIRSTS:: , which 
is a working system on HECnet.

I have a TPC-formatted tape image with the name fortran-77_v5_4.tap

When I mount that tape, these are the contents:

$ mount mu0: F77504 %Device is write protected Density is 135 Tape is in 
ANSI format $ dir mu0: Name .Typ Size Name .Typ Size Name .Typ Size MU0: 
AUT101.A * 244 P AUTVER.BCK* 1 P F77F77.BCK* 3 P F77REL.BCK* 7 P 
F77504.A * 407 P Total of 662 blocks in 5 files in MU0:

Also, during the installation I copied all layered product patches to 
PATCH$, including what looks like patches for this version of Fortran-77:

$ dir patch$:f*.*

Name .Typ Size Prot Name .Typ Size Prot SY:[0,200] FALDBG.TSK 225C <232> 
FALOVL.TSK 213C <232> FALRLB.TSK 80C <232> FEDLIB.OLB 118 < 60> 
FEDTKB.CMD 1 < 60> FEDTKB.ODL 2 < 60> FMS .01L 0 < 60> FMS .COM 38 < 60> 
FMS .DOC 3 < 60> FORTRA.01L 0 < 60> F77 .DOC 6 < 60> F77504.DAT 3 < 60> 
F77COM.OBJ 24 < 60> FRTRN7.01L 0 < 60> Total of 713 blocks in 14 files 
in SY:[0,200]

However, when I try to instal Fortran-77 (@[0,1]INSTAL FRTRN77) at some 
point the installer ties to mount the tape and fails with:

?ID labels don't match

Looking at the INSTAL.COM script, I believe it expects a label "FRTRN7", 
whereas the tape is labeled F77504.
This string also appears as a file name in the PATCH$ directory and as a 
file on the tape itself.

Clearly, there is a mismatch between the installer and the tape image 
(but more likely, in my head)

Did anybody successfully install Fortran-77 on RSTS V10.1L ? How, and 
using what tape image?
